Contribution

It introduces Bayesian methods to the cosmology community through a dedicated school, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Findings

Enhanced understanding of Bayesian techniques in cosmology

Application of Bayesian methods to CMB and LSS data

Promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration in astrostatistics

Abstract

These are the proceedings of the First Astrostatistics School: Bayesian Methods in Cosmology, held in Bogot\'a D.C., Colombia, June 9-13, 2014. The first astrostatistics school has been the first event in Colombia where statisticians and cosmologists from some universities in Bogot\'a met to discuss the statistic methods applied to cosmology, especially the use of Bayesian statistics in the study of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), Large Scale Structure (LSS) and weak lensing.
